Sunday 20th March 2016

A much cooler day, temp' only in single figures as very little sun. Dry at least, not looking good for the Easter holiday sadly. Most annoying as so much planned including a family Easter egg hunt.
Day spent working on the alpine house. Sliding gear to door fixed in place, will know tomorrow if worked. All cladding now fixed and cills glued in place.
With another box full of bottles I was able to add these to the bottle wall, still require a few hundred more bottles yet to finish this part of the alpine house project.
             The male sparrowhawk appeared again this morning but was soon chased away by the jay. Not sure what the problem is but whatever it is they do not get on!
Spent a couple of hours in the hide late this afternoon and was pleased once again to see the goldcrest but the biggest surprise was the blackcap. Not seen this bird at this part of the garden before.
